The percussion guy is vibing so hard
The drum guy doe
@@-PaulThePerson- drums is percussion you do realise that
The maracas and tambourine was so satisfying
is that the same guy who did the Mario Odyssey percussion?
@That Quarantined Gamer well look at him he's rocking with the beat that's basically vibing he's one with the music
So nobody gon talk ab how the percussionist was straight VIBIN
That’s what we do on every song
Percussionists just vibe
Shakers: playing Drums: banged Tambourine: loud af Vibes: good
Alexa lol
Bro facts tho he was just straight VIBIN
The part with the accordion is soo underrated, I just love how it blends with the theme and brings it to another level
i agree
Is it even animal crossing without an accordion?

the day,that you opened your game for the first time.
Hey Raymond
I remember how I didn't know how to pick up fruit and how shovels worked.
That first day I was so excited it was wonderful
i kept restarting till i got tammy or kid cat cuz they were on my new leaf town lol
me remembering that one time when I didn't know that you actually needed to donate fish and bugs to Tom nook to go through the game
this is what home feels like.
Omg so true makes me so happy
Ah yes, but I cannot take expansion requests while you still have a outstanding loan balance. Let’s chat after you’ve paid of your loan, hm?
True UwU
My name is gwen lol
Yeah it really is. I want to go back to this game now. All the new updates in the past year or so seem super interesting too. But I'll have to start over since I messed up so bad I have a problem that's completely impossible to fix.
Why does this already feel nostalgic when the game just released.

Aw back when we all thought quarantine was “just a little bit longer”
*wish this wasn't relatable*
now it's just gonna be forever
@@solarenoi lol yeah no
@@solarenoi don't want quarantine boom walk outside :)
i miss those times of hope
i’m crying. this is not just a game, for me this is an awesome experience. i met my boyfriend, so much friends and makes me so happy in the hardest moment of my life. tysm Nintendo.

@@user-tg9pv2rl1j exactly how i felt too
You... huh?? You met your boyfriend on.. Animal crossing???
Tom Nook gets all the girls
I also met my boyfriend on Animal Crossing. His name is Dom and he is a jock villager, lol.
The song that kept the world chill in the worst year of our lives.
Preach
Uncle Buckle kept and still keeping 🥺
I've had worse years ngl
the worst year of our lives, so far! :D
MrMonsterjamer DON'T GIVE GOD IDEAS
when i hear this song 20 years later its gonna be a quarantine flashback alright
That is if your still alive. 'Life is uncertain death is certain.

Thanks to Animal Crossing, everyone was safe.
hahahahahahahahaha
I love that the percussion guy has a wall of guitars but doesn't play the guitar part
This song is going to be nostalgia fuel in the future
10 years in the future cant wait
Definitely
It already is
@Brendan Lewis how dare you say that when we have the banger at 5 pm
In like 12 years, you're going to be playing Animal Crossing: No Horizons for the Nintendo Genesis, and you're going to find K.K.'s secret song, "Welcome Horizons" and the nostalgia's gonna hit like a truck.
me watching my islander walk around aimlessly on the title screen: 👁👄👁
Also me seeing gulliver in a coma for the 13th time: 👁️👄👁️

Me seeing Saharah with her stupid overpriced rugs: 👁🗨➖👁🗨
Me seeing flick next to pinky: 👁👄👁
😳
Fun fact: 99% of the people here never searched for this but are extremely glad they found it Edit: A lot more people than previously thought did in fact search for this, these people are amazing as is everyone else reading this
Correction 100%
Fun fact: that isn't true
actually i searched for it lol
Just suddenly got recommended for the 2nd time after a year lol
I searched it right after the intro scene finished playing lmao
One day when i’m an adult, i’m going to look back on this and be like: “Oh yeah i spent almost 300+ hours on a game (so far)” *AND IT WAS THE BEST THING EVER*
I've spent over 1500 hours on Mario Maker so thats cool
300? thats nothing lmao
@@PestfaceGhoul I don’t even have 100.
@@PestfaceGhoul dont you have life
@@fikrihbro i do :)
This game saved a lot of people during difficult times I’m sure.
Very true!
Yes, I suffer from anxiety and depression. I bought the game right when the pademic started knowing very little of the months ahead. This game pushed me through a lot. There were moments that I forgot I was depressed. All of this will sound pathetic for some, but this game probably saved my life.
@@LOTW1 awww ☺️ I’m so glad this game made you feel happier during these rough times, especially since it was a bit tougher for you.
Ya but it’s 60 dollars
yep, i wish i got it earlier, but im so glad i have it now :)) i love ittt
The unofficial theme song of 2020.
Official*
sirwaffles2020 indeed
Exactly what i wanted to comment
until BOTW 2 theme song
Needs more screaming and coughing in it
The only reason why I will miss quarantine
It's not even close to being over
@@Jesus_H_Christ it's not over, but sadly the 'we're all in this together' days are over. virtual performances, games, events.. early quarantine has ended.
If someone plays this at my funeral, I ain’t dying! *im getting up and vibing*

"If you play this inside a prison cell, the prisoners will start decorating their cells".
So basically Paddington 2?
StrikeWarlock I think so...
StrikeWarlock yes lol
Their prison cells or their human cells?
This has reminded me that when Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer came out, the folks at IGN nicknamed it "Animal Crossing: House Arrest".
Can we all agree that hearing this made everyone shine ✨
Hey future me. Here, enjoy this video that you watched on June 3rd 2021. This was one of the best things that happened that year. Even though dark clouds of sorrow, isolation and hate surrounded not only you or your family but, friends all over the world, this brought some light and content to your heart. It’s a better day today but whenever you remember the past, you’ll see that not everything was as bad as you thought. Good day, love you even though you might doubt on yourself often but, here you are 👍
BW ANINAL CROSSING AHARTNENEDO
YES YES YES Nintendo - Please give us more of this. The music in Nintendo games is so iconic and the composers and players never get enough credit!
Yes
Yes please
Indeed
Yes
Koji Kondo is simply the best composer of all time in my opinion.
I love how Nintendo is able to do social distancing and bring world peace at the same time.
The power of nintendo
@@Neel-xb1ok Nintendo Power
I am burning here cos cannot get my hands on a console
They should have implemented a social distancing rule in the game as a 1st April joke !
This game probably has amazing audio. Especially the soundtrack 10AM is a banger.
It feels so weird not seeing one of my villagers walking about to this
this song literal makes me emotional I can’t
same :')
Because we already know the future impact this very song will have. Why wait to let it out?
See y’all in 7 years when KZhead recommends this to everyone 😭
I
YALL MAKE THIS COMMENT LIKED SO WE SEE IT IN 2027!
Speedy Turtle Productions yes
@@speedyturtleproductions7537 hopefully it won't get worst at the next years
😔😔😔
This is my alarm. Start your day right!
U will hate this song within a week so na im not doing it
Good idea. Totally setting this up as my alarm too!
Noooo, anything I set as an alarm I begin to hate, and i don’t want to hate this lol
Yuh
Mine is the new leaf one
coming back 1 year later for some nostalgia. i miss the early days of covid
Same!
Haha yes, same
Yeah now everything is a mess, i miss seating at home thinking what will i do in my "free time"
Watching this again made me feel how great of a game ACNH is, even when the hype is gone (for me in a sense), it still hits our hearts on how great this game really is, even after all this time.
These are always fun to see, there’s a special quality that only comes with a live performance.
Agreed!
agreed
Agreed
Wait so this isn't the soundtrack with the performances only shown visually because there would be way more background noise?
Doc. Atbash I believe this version is slightly different, possibly a different mix from the same recording sessions that were made into the final title theme.
Everyone: Such a beautiful song Me: Wait K.K plays this with just 1 instrument!?
Wizardry.
And his voice.... "Weh oh me oh we oh me oh we" -KK
Its a magical guitar
But the one you see him play only has the guitar
Yeah, he’s playing the chords but not with all the different instruments to make all the unique sounds. Its simple, really
I had a cyst so big in my ovary that I couldn’t walk because of the pain. My husband bought me the game in March 2020 right when we went into quarantine and the toilet paper was gone from stores. This game will always have a special place in my heart ❤️
Man, I'm at work, listening to this 3 years later, and emotions just hit me hard. There's something about going through rough times, keeping your head down, and pushing through, just to get to the other side and finally realize what a grind it was. I've seen some people saying New Horizons saved their life. For me, it gave me consistent happiness and contentment during a time when it was in short supply. I'll always be grateful for that.
This needs to become a Nintendo Mini-series, where we request a song to be performed by as many original players as possible.
omg yes i would love that
YESSSS
Bring in the entire bloody orchestra for gusty garden galaxy
If you’ll excuse me, I have a petition to start
Omg yesssss
0:50 Dude has the whole of like 10 seconds of essentially playing just 7 notes, yet he puts so much into it...that’s true musicianship right there!
It's so short but I love the addition of the accordion in this song! I feel like the flugelhorn, percussion, and ukulele/guitar are all pretty new sounds for animal crossing, but the accordion reminds me of the older games and it's great
@@thecookie390 Professor Layton?
Embellishment.
It's really easy to simply play a note or musical phrase, but to make a note or phrase sound perfect in the context of the piece takes a completely different level of effort and musicianship. He played that phrase beautifully.
@@thecookie390 yeah I get reminded of aclgttc!
realize how most switch games have natural instrument music like this
I remember it was 2020 COVID-19 and it was my birthday… my dad knew I liked Nintendo games, and asked GameStop for the most popular nintendo game out right now and that was “animal crossing new horizons” my dad came back from the store and I remember I was in my room literally CRYING because I had nothing to do I couldn’t see my friends, I couldn’t have a proper birthday, and it just SUCKED! And then my dad comes in the room and he holds this download code for a game and I remember looking at the card and I said “oh isn’t that the most popular game on the switch right now?” And my dad said “yes I asked them for the most popular one and this is what they had” so I typed in the code and get greeted by Timmy and tommy in the airport I remember my look at the start of the game was black hair with the blue-polka dot shirt and the tan colored shorts and my sister came in the room and had asked what are you playing? I said that dad had got me this game and my sister asked if she could play and I said uh ok and she made her character to and literally that entire 2020 was just me and my sister playing animal crossing good times… Gooood times…
Brings me back to the first days of CoVid lockdowns. When life felt like a prison. The game was an escape 😊
Same sir Claro
Well said
Those were the days, sitting down and playing animal crossing all day. Rinse and repeat.
when it was sunny 😪
Omg ik I feel you!
This is so calming it feels like it’s illegal
FBI OPEN UP
Yea FBI OPEN UP
Ikr
Yo the fbi is here
@@thanosgautlet1037 I knew I was earlier than the FBI
2020 really was a blessing and a curse at the same time huh? It sucked we couldn’t go outside, but at the same time it gave us time to just relax and do nothing but play animal crossing. It’ll certainly go down in history as one of the most unique years of all time- and I’ll remember it for what it did right; starting my love for animal crossing :)
Easily one of my favorite gaming soundtracks. It got a lot of us through a global pandemic after all.
This song has never filled my body with such happiness before, it feels like I’ve entered heaven
This is heaven
We really need some heaven rn
yea i feel the same way
Imagine if you knew Jesus -- it would blow you away.
Hey I see you on Twitter sometimes don't I
Nintendo is incredible at making the cutest games. I “squeed” out loud when Maple finally gave me her framed photo. This is coming from a 35 year old tattooed male. I tell you I am shameless with how happy this game makes me.
no shame at all - actor Danny Trejo plays it regularly.... and he has more tattoos than you * (* I'm assuming)
This just made me happy this indeed isn’t just some girly kids game 😌
Then you have fans that say that Nintendo don't listen to them
jenna p I LOVE her. She is so cute it almost hurts.
YES 🙏💖💖 There ya go buddy!! 💖💖
This video (and the song itself everytime i start the game) just gives me pure joy. Thank you Nintendo! I've been with you since i was little and will be until i grow old.
Everytime i whistle or hum this, i get a lump in my thraot and teary eyed. Such a nostalgic song, regardless if you play Animap crossing or not.
Animal crossing aside, this is a really nice tune to listen to. It's just perfect. The notes all perfectly match, with the soothing drums and just.. agh its amazing.
I know, its really relaxing! :)
Suuper relaxing!!

The unofficial theme of quarantine
Just 1 year but it already hits different
I can’t wait to look back on this video in 10 years and feel nostalgic the same way I do for the Wild World theme song now.
I’ll hopefully see this comment then so I can see my ten year old reply! Hi future me!!
@@michaelh.3516 Same
I feel nostalgic for the new leaf music .And for new horizonz .Idk why .But I do .
Omg me too
Arh yes!!!!
See y’all in 10 years when this is in our recommendation and we’re all having quarantine flashbacks
😭😭😭
Ok
ayo remeber me
I'm already having flashbacks, what're you talking about?
If we ever live to tell the tale that is
This is so nostalgic. Thank you Nintendo 😊
hey, remember when this came out and everyone was forced to stay home and acnh was one of the few escapism we got? is it bad if i am bit nostalgic for those days?
KZhead: How satisfied are you with this video? Bro I’m in utter bliss do you even have to ask
Ikr!!!
imagining this theme being played by the Game Awards orchestra...
I would pay to see that
Woaaaah it would super awesome (and super lovely haha)
Who knows. In a few years it might have already happened!
game awards suck so meh
The whole 8 of them... Not really an orchestra song, even though the it's more classical.
This game was easily the best part of the first few months of quarantine
This song makes me get tears in my eyes and I don't know why. I love it so much. Brilliant performance.
God bless these people for the wonderful music we got.
Lindsay Behrle yep
True
*this comments section is going to be nostalgic after another decade has passed, so let’s just savor this before we grow up*
bold of you to assume we have to grow up 🤣💖
Yessir
Why am I crying
Bold of you to assume I’m old enough to to become an adult in a decade.. But you’re right, I’ll be 24.
yes 😼
Over quarantine I played this game so much. Part of it was the music that stuck with me.
Thank you for saving me❤
You can tell some of these musicians absolutely love their craft just by their facial expressions. Absolutely amazing
0:38 The dude on the right is jamming with the music harder than he's shaking the thing
It’s hard to hate your craft when every note you play is literal heaven
9ii09kkloollkl
If KZhead recommends this in 7 years, remember one thing... This helped us during the dark times. Stay safe.
This really has helped 😊 Stay safe!
Yeah
@Johannes Dy corona
I did bro
if were still alive lol
Crazy how much thought must have gone into this finding the perfect instrument.
I must say, that's because of Animal Crossing that I started to make videos and that I met my online best friend, Animal Crossing was an important step in my life, so I thank you Nintendo, for making games like these, in which, friendships and passions can form.
i’m so stressed out right now and idk why hearing this made me emotional. in a good way though, thanks
This song tells you everything is going to be okay
Literally same bran, we will get thru it
Cringe
Hang in there! Your Best Days are still ahead! :)
This music makes us all so happy! Since quarantined at home, I made this funny rendition of this with whatever I could find around the apartment to beat and shake as percussions...🤣 hope you guys like it, too kzhead.info/sun/hsmtmZyqnJZrq3A/bejne.html
See all of u guys in 10 years when we are all crying about the nostalgia we feel listening to this
Can we all just take a make ment to remember hearing this theme for the first time? It was only a year ago but it felt like forever
ACNH is such an important part of my life. It connected me with my family during Covid, we spent hours on each others islands and in voice chat. We weren't close before the game, but it was a reason to come together, and now we have a shared history and closeness. When I hear this music it reminds me of my family connection 💕
the guy with the congas is just vibing most of the time
Congas*
Bongos are much smaller than Congas
Oh sorry didn't see your comment wrote almost the same thing.
You can hear that the song is following a 4 bar but in such a way that it's much easier to time the offbeat sounds when you put your body movement on it's own beat.
Sometimes I just sit at the title screen of ACNH to hear this
I used to do that with KH1. Video Game music often doesn't get any appreciation outside it's demographic, and it's such a shame.
Same Like I Love It So Much
same though
CZ same
I did that loads with the other games too the theme songs always sound so good I just want to listen to it go in for a bit
I opened my game for the first time in a year last week and the music just brought back so many memories lol, then this popped up in my recommended
This brings me back to the times when we all thought that quarantine would only be three weeks.
This made me smile and forget the corona for even just a few moments. :’)
Much like actual animal crossing
Crying rn tears of joy 💐🌸🌷🌼🥀🌹🌷 and sadness, remembering all those lost to vivid 19 on this Memorial Day. Rest In Peace, and love prayers and hope to the families.
@@brightstarlit wtf
Its back again lol
But they had to do it apart because of the corona 😳
Well, this is relaxing.
True boi
When this song plays on my Switch, I have some time to forget the hectic world and dive into relaxation after a hard day work. Thank you Nintendo for this stress relief.
This song just puts me into a time where covid was new, and everything was still relatively normal, it's already nostalgic.
😔
I'm already can see myself after 7 years, reading this with tears on the eyes... Animal crossing will forever take a special place in my heart.
this was so cute until i read your name
drum guy is really feeling it, i love him
Incredible performance! I’m gonna bet so nostalgic in 10 years, I’m already tearing up and I literally played this while fishing for a fish I wanted!
This is AMAZING! I love this melody and now seeing it with all the instruments, I love it even more 😍😍😍😍😍
This games soundtrack needs more recognition tbh
Never was a huge fan of the in game hourly songs but the main theme definitely needs more recognition
Imo the main theme is the only good theme in new horizons, new leaf is just 👌 But I respect ur opinion :]
Trueeee it gets drowned out by people talking abt the older games overrated osts
When I open the game and I hear the main theme it makes me breath slowly, makes me relax.
Probably the weakest soundtrack of the main series. It’s good, but the other ones are just that much better
"Mom, what instrument did you play when you in school?" "The Flugelhorn." "Why'd you chose that?" "It's..You wouldn't understand.."
[ Wintax Z ] the dude isnt a girl
@@rythebeloved5413 ..But I am a female..?
@@rythebeloved5413 ..the joke is targeted.. towards me..
I did buy a flugelhorn in high school for smooth jazz solos. Now, I have the key to play the melody myself
Finally someone who knows it's a flugelhorn
This song makes me emotional. I have been wanting a switch for over two years and I finally got one this February. I got Splatoon 2 and ACNH on there and when I heard the theme for the first time I cried. I have wanted to play it for almost 2 years.q
There will be a documentary about 2020 in the future, and THIS will be included. It's kinda amazing how so many people can share such a similar experience. Not exactly how I wanted to experience such a phenomenon, but I think that goes for everyone. 😅
I can’t believe that there’s a Brian May Red Special hanging on the wall
omg i'm glad i'm not the only one who noticed! looks like he's got a good taste in guitars lol
What timestamp is it at?
@@marissak3366 It's behind the percussion guy, right hand side. You'll see it basically any time it's on him.
I LOVE BRIAN MAY AND QUEEN
And a Rickenbacker 325
Don’t lie, you’ve watched this more than once.
How did you know
Yes 😆
Its just so nice to see how they play it
How did u found out
How Did YOU KNOW!?!?!
Take me back to that uninhabited island.
I watch this on bad days and it makes my whole day better, especially the guy in the green. He’s got such great vibes. Thank you, you talented group of musicians.
The only good thing that happened this year is Animal Crossing period.
And doom eternal
The last of us 2, cyberpunk 2077?
Streets of Rage 4
Ahh, of course people have to suggest more games and not let this comment be
airplanetastic y’all need to try and play other games. I swear half the switch user base thinks the only games that exist are animal crossing, Pokémon, Mario and smash
I was going to say “Wow this sounds just like how it sounds when I open animal crossing” *hm I wonder why*
Lol
😂
Lol
This is amazing!! I love seeing this side of things! Like why have I never wondered about the people who created the amazing AC soundtracks before?!
This is my morning alarm sound. Lol. So that I feel like I'm walking up in my island 😅
0:45 there’s a sound missing... if anyone knows what I mean, it goes like “do doooo...”
This! That sound is what makes that track so upbeat and chilly! I alway listen to that "du dooo" before starting the game.
I've always loved that sound, it's what makes the song feel whole to me and like the guy who commented before me, I always wait for that sound before I start up my game. I just wish I knew what instrument it was played on I can just barely not make it out
I think that part has a bit of pitch bend too
@@danielrivera9626 Sounds like a slide guitar to me.
It's at 0:37 I believe (in the middle of the pause, right?) I thought that would've been in the string bass part (not analyzing it too much). Maybe he forgot to play it? Maybe I'm wrong and it's a different instrument they couldn't record from home?
For when this is recommended again I want to be remembered.
SAME
Gotcha bro
Same energy as “tWitTeR gO dO yOuR tHiNg” 💀
Well, kinda
You got remebered
You know animal crossing was good when your starting to miss quarantine
The early months of the Covid pandemic, i bought ACNH because my friend was excited for it, and i of course wanted to join in with them and play.. We didn't play together much (because their in Austria and im from Canada) but when we did it was fun.. waking up and booting up the game to hear this theme will always be my favorite
